Therionas

Ravien Duskbane, the youngest and most feared admiral in history, believed in only one thing: victory.
Praised for his brilliance, feared for his ruthlessness—everything was under his control.
Until one night, he woke up in a body that wasn’t his.

Now, he was trapped in the body of a forgotten character from a novel he could barely remember.


And worst of all? This body could not die.

Every wound healed. Every attempt at death ended in failure.
Even his one desire—death—was denied to him. But Ravien refused to submit.

If he was truly going to die, it wouldn’t be as someone weak or insignificant.

First, he would rise.
Then, he would conquer.
He would bring the world to its knees.

And in the end, he would reach the peak—just to find a death worthy of him.

NOVEL’S EXTRA: I Will Die at the Peak

The first light of the day touched the mud houses of the village at the foot of Ravien's fortress with a soft glow. The sun, not yet fully risen, was slowly climbing the sky while the first moon drifted westward.

The villagers' condition had visibly improved compared to a few days earlier. Thanks to the supplies Ravien regularly provided, they no longer struggled with hunger and could devote more time to their daily lives. Working the soil, fixing homes, spending time with their children… This small settlement was ruled by silence, slowness, and quiet acceptance.

By then, Ravien was already awake, getting dressed. He pulled on a black, wide-collared shirt with missing buttons. He completed the outfit with a pair of tight, faded pants made of old fabric.
